SHEVS IFT

What SHEVS IFT does

SHEVS IFT Consultants Pte Ltd is a Singapore-headquartered fire safety engineering consultancy founded in 2014 (with the team claiming more than 25 years of domain experience) that delivers performance-based fire safety design, smoke control engineering, CFD modelling, and evacuation analysis for complex built environments. The firm's technical practice centers on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling, evacuation simulation tools (SIMULEX and PATHFINDER), and performance-based fire engineering applied to scenarios where prescriptive code compliance is insufficient — including smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (SHEVS), Mass Engineered Timber (CLT/Glulam) fire engineering, tunnel ventilation, thermal comfort analysis, and fire safety audits/waiver applications. Its core outputs are quantitative deliverables: ASET/RSET analyses with safety factors above 2, smoke layer maintenance above 2.5m, and tenability criteria such as visibility above 10m, smoke temperature below 60°C, and radiation below 2.5 kW/m².

The firm sells professional engineering consultancy services on a project-engagement basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing or subscription model, and bills through Qualified Persons (QP) and Fire Safety Engineers (FSE) for direct submissions to authorities such as Singapore's SCDF. It serves eight vertical segments — Education, Healthcare, Industrial, Mixed-use, Office, Recreational, Residential, and Transport — with named enterprise and government clients including Changi Airport Terminal 4, New Islamabad International Airport, MRT Singapore (17 stations peer review), Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Sports Hub, Outram Community Hospital, Google's Jurong Data Centre, DHL Airfreight Warehouse, GlaxoSmithKline Asia House, DUO Singapore, and Eunoia Junior College. The firm operates as an ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer across ten jurisdictions (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and holds ISO 9001 certification.

In 2024, SHEVS IFT announced its acquisition by GISI (Global Infrastructure Systems International), shifting its ownership structure and providing a strategic financial backer with global infrastructure reach. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with marketing conducted through website portfolio content, technical checklists, and compliance resources rather than paid channels. The firm has 11–50 employees (per firmographic data) and is privately held under Singapore Pte Ltd structure.

Broad incumbents

• WSP: Large global engineering consultancy with a fire and life safety team that delivers performance-based design as part of integrated property and transport bids — a broader competitor on mega-projects.
• AECOM: Global multi-disciplinary engineering and infrastructure firm with a fire engineering practice; competes for large integrated mandates where fire is bundled with broader structural, MEP, and transport design.
• Exponent: Engineering and scientific consulting firm with a fire engineering practice specialising in failure analysis, fire investigation, and risk assessment — overlaps with SHEVS IFT's audit and risk assessment work.

Emerging players

• Meinhardt: Asia-headquartered engineering consultancy with growing fire and life safety capability, often bundled into MEP and infrastructure bids across Singapore and Southeast Asia — an emerging competitor on regional projects.
• Fire Safety Consultancy (SG): Smaller Singapore-based fire safety consultancies offering QP/FSE submission services for code-compliance and basic performance-based design — a more local, narrower competitor for entry-level mandates.

Direct peers

• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with a market-leading fire safety engineering practice that delivers performance-based fire design, CFD modelling, and evacuation analysis on complex buildings and transport hubs — directly overlapping with SHEVS IFT's core offering.
• Buro Happold: International engineering consultancy with a dedicated fire engineering team offering performance-based design, smoke control, and evacuation modelling for high-rise, healthcare, and transport projects — a close match for SHEVS IFT's project mix.
• OFR Consultants: UK-based specialist fire engineering consultancy providing performance-based fire design, smoke control, and evacuation modelling — a boutique peer with a comparable specialisation profile.
• Jensen Hughes: Specialist global fire protection engineering and consulting firm focused on fire safety design, code consulting, and risk assessment — a pure-play comparable to SHEVS IFT's domain.

Regional players

• Siggins Miller: Australian fire safety engineering consultancy delivering performance-based fire design, smoke control, and evacuation analysis across ANZ — a regional peer with similar methodology but different geography.
